BASE BALL.

Yesterday closed the series of games ir
this city between the Wichi as and Emporias
The day was somewhat chilly and not a good
bail day Yet there was good sized crowd
in attendance and the game was watched
with the closest interest by all The game
resulted as did the other two in victory for
the home team. The boys showed very
clearly that they can play bail, and a
very creditable game, too. The score
shows that they made rot en-
error and their fielding was remarkably
good. Butler, short stop; Hull, third base,
and Isaacson at first, all made some almost
phenomenal plays, while Ducky Hemp out in
center field came to the front with some e1-
hibitions of his wonderful skill Hendricks
did not pitch a remarkably good game; in
fact his six wild pitches were the means OF
letting in three runs of the Empo-
rias. Longs pitching, too, was
not equal to that of either Haddock's
batted
In Tuesdays game, it win be re remembered,
the home team did T othing until the eighth
inning but yesterday it was quite the re-
verse. They started out with a score Of four
made in the first inning Ducky Hemp few
to right field; Sunday nit by the pitcher,
goes to first, reaches third on Isaacson's two
Dagger and scores on Buffers base hit. But
Ter stole second and third and reached
home through Pettiford's base hit. Hull's
ba "a hit broI, chit in Patti ford who bod stolen
second and reached third On an error.
Whistler flew to second and Schneider was
called out on dead ball. Wichita thus
scored four runs, two of which were earnsd.
In the latter half of the same inning Long
was put out on first; ORourke made base
hit, and by Wild pitches of Hendricks gained
second and third and scored on Lewis two
Dagger. Drischel flew to center field, Ray
mond to right field and thus Lewis was left
on second.
In the second inning Hemp made three
Dagger and scored on Sundays base hit
Butler took in a liner with one hand that
gave him the credit of making one of the
most beautiful plays of the season.
In the fourth inni G two more wild pitches
of Hendricks gave a score to Raymond who
bad made two Dagger. In the seventh both
clubs made a score. Issacson who had taken
q base on balls, through the error of the
second baseman scores for the Wichi a. while
the two wild pitches of Hendricks the second
time allows Ray mond to score.
The following is the score:

ing caught He was given few love strokes

A CITY OF STRANGERS.

As the summer draws toe clofe and the
days grow cooler the stream OF strangers IN
creases. Every arriving train adds to the
multitude of new faces upon our streets and
| the hotels are again crying for quarters.
Nine out Of ten of these people come to YER
| ify what they have heard about the wouder
| full growth of Wichita and OF its future
prospects as great city, or, having satisfied
themselves upon these points before leaving
eastern homes, come to prospect for chances
for profitable investment. The ten or fif-
teen thousand self-supporting people to be
added to our population the coming year by
the great factories secured, in addition to
such numbers as would have come on genera al
principles, will give the city such bound
forward and an added prominence that even
the dullest have grasped the situation by
catching glimpses of the great things looming
up in the future for this city. Times are
ard east. Money matters are so close that
the best class of sc curities are falling daily
to command any cash from the money cen
tiers, but such chances as Wichita
is offering for profitable investment, such
a. sursncr of increase are not to be, will not
be injured however stringent the money
market of the east may prove.
A sure return of fifty or hundred per
cent for investments in the way of absou
growth will open up offers thickly buried in
the dust of neglect. So the multitude Of
strangers are again pouring into Wichita
While the gre at majority of them will reap
rich rewards because Of their fl resight, and,
notwithstanding large per cent of their
number may n. yer become actual residents
themselves, being settled for life in pleasant
homes, yet let them come. Their invest
ments, though profitable to themselves, will
add to Wicbita's strength and soidity not
only, but the il fiuence of hosts of such men
will hasten the days of greatness which are
coming so rapidly
